Is this the Lakeside, Wisconsin referred to in Neil Gaiman's novel, American Gods?

I am going to go ahead and say that this is not the American Gods' Lakeside. Things I've discovered along the way trying to find it for a roadtrip.

  • it's south of Rhinelander
  • near the White Pine River (there is a river by this name in Minnesota, but none in wisconsin (the only river near this name is the Pine River which fits the criteria of being south of rhinelander
  • it's 20 miles west of Camden (a nonexistent town in Wisconsin (He maybe gets Camden from Crandon a town 28 miles east of Rhinelander))
  • it's south of Ironwood and Eagle River
  • It's north of Steven's Point
  • there are mining towns to the north east of "Lakeside"

Possible thoughts as to the real Lakeside
